A 15-Year Collaboration Driving Efficiency in Inspection Technology
Insight Vision is a top producer of sewer camera inspection systems, trusted by professionals in municipal infrastructure and commercial contracting. The company engineers advanced push cameras and robotic crawler systems that deliver high-resolution imaging, precise navigation capabilities, and real-time data transmission. Its dedication to performance and reliability makes its systems indispensable for evaluating difficult-to-access underground locations.
For more than 15 years,
Teledyne Interconnect Solutions has provided Insight Vision with essential, robust, and high-quality cabling solutions to support its product line. Durable push rod cables and flexible soft crawler cables are critical for uninterrupted signal transmission during difficult field conditions.
Scaling production in a high-demand tech environment
Previously, Insight Vision performed in-house operations to assemble and customize large cable reels for their needs. Staff had to cut bulk push rod cable into individual sections and manually finish each piece, which consumed significant time and effort.
As demand increased, internal resources became overextended, hindering the company’s ability to meet customer demands for speedy delivery and product availability. Production scaling limitations occurred when assembly bottlenecks, coupled with employee availability, reduced operational throughput.
Plug-and-play cabling: A game-changer for workflow efficiency
In 2024, Insight Vision partnered with
Teledyne Interconnect Solutions to streamline an essential part of their workflow. The collaborative effort resulted in the development of a specialized pre-terminated cable solution. Teledyne started offering 200-foot push rod cables that came pre-cut, wrapped, and professionally terminated so they were ready for immediate use out of the box.
Through
Teledyne Interconnect Solutions’ new plug-and-play model, Insight Vision’s production technicians gained additional time to work on more valuable tasks like final assembly testing and quality assurance.
Boosting reliability through smart integration
Bruce Maechtle, purchasing Manager at Insight Vision, reported that moving to Teledyne’s pre-configured cable solution provided instant value.
The new cable integration process minimized material waste and rework while ensuring build consistency to support improved product reliability and customer satisfaction.
Collaborative engineering for the future of inspection
The effective partnership underscores how strategic collaborations can address actual manufacturing problems. Teledyne Interconnect Solutions delivered high-performance cable assemblies and assisted Insight Vision in addressing workforce constraints and expanding customer service capabilities while preserving its reputation for quality and responsiveness.
“By outsourcing cable terminations to Teledyne, we’ve optimized our skilled labor resources, leading to a noticeable increase in overall productivity.” - Bruce Maechtle, Purchasing Manager, Insight Vision
Insight Vision and Teledyne maintain their partnership to produce scalable and affordable solutions that advance the development of next-generation inspection technologies in response to changing industry requirements.
